ROMANCIN’ THE DAY

16/04/2014

As you probably know these easy to wear cami slip on dresses are one of my favourite summer time looks. The night for day is still tops my to-wear list. The romantic idea of a silk and lace cami dress for a daytime look is always a winner for me. Guess I have an old fashioned take on love and romance and this kind of attire sparks a dream of just that. The romantic novel aside. They are great to wear with a sweater or simple denim jacket for an off duty look. Or just as nice plain and simple on it’s own with a pair of gorgeous shoes.
It’s a great staple dress for the wardrobe. I’ve put mine with heavy studded/jewelled sandals but it’s great with fancy flats and heels too.
I’m back doing the blog again after a few months of ups and downs. I’m getting back to feeling more myself now that all my children are well. I’m looking forward to a lovely summer filled with lots of laughter and good times with family and friends. What are your summer plans?

JOHN LEWIS-THE EDIT

04/03/2014

I was in London last week for a shoot with John lewis as I mentioned in my previous post (Florals). I can now post the pictures from the night. It was such a great time. Getting my hair and make up fixed and having the opportunity to experiment with florals and high octane colours.I’m not usually one to go very bright or for citrus colours. I definitely moved out of my comfort zone of denim and head to toe black. There were so many great pieces in the Floral edit. My favourite was definitely the playsuit. So easy to wear for both day and night. And for light weight holiday packing. Electric blue shoes are also one of my favourites and the heel on these are perfect for a little daytime glam as well as party nights. I really can’t wait for summer.You can shop the Floral edit here…and see my full feature here

Thanks everyone for a fabulous evening and for giving me such a wonderful opportunity xxx Dawn

FEDORA HAT

30/01/2014

Dressing up in hat and coat for a very chilly January day. I’m happy to of found a hat that feels comfortable on. I struggle with hats that sit on top of the head and feel like they’ll fall of at any time. If I’m going to wear something on my head it definitely has to feel comfortable. I also adore the pale pink colour of this one. One of my favourites. Perfect for spring days too. Hurry up weather and warm up. There are so many beautiful clothes arriving in store lately but unfortunately we are months away from being able to wear them. It’s quite depressing not being able to wear what you want because of the cold weather. I feel the need for a holiday pretty soon. Sandals and shorts… watch out!!!!

Get tough

16/06/2013

Today I’m wearing this cute pearl embelished zara skirt. I’ve had it since last season but it’s worth bringing out for summer.I toughened it up with black leather and these tough girl booties. I like wearing soft breezy clothing with heavy contrasting details. Texture mixing with a conflict of trends. The weather isn’t so great again and it’s hard to keep up with what to wear when we have two seasons in one day. It’s not even a pleasure to do the simplist things when it’s cold and rainy. Today is fathers day so I’m off for lunch with my family. Hope all the daddies out there have a wonderful day xxxx Dawn

Roses & Gold

09/10/2012

Roses and metallic gold.I wore this outfit this past Sunday for lunch out with my family.I have to say I do have a real love of roses especially when incorporated in clothing.So the moment I spied this sweater on the rails it was coming home with me if it suited me or not. I’ve mixed it here with this rich gold textured skirt for a twist.Even thou I’ve literally lived day and night in these sandals I had to wear them again here and make the most of the fact I could. I’m sure there will be a shortage of dry days from here now in…
